Among broadcast networks, CBS-TV was highest rated. Following are the networks and TV media companies that were rated as market leaders (top-2 box) by 50% or more of the MyersBizNet survey respondents with which they have a relationship. Additional details focused on specific respondent groups (responsibility, region, demo targets, business category, years in business) have been provided to MyersBizNet member companies. For example, among client (advertiser) executives, A&E, CBS-TV and CBS News are perceived significantly more positively. It’s important to state the obvious: many factors enter into the Upfront buying and planning process, with this year’s negotiations being impacted by several new variables, especially game-changing data from multiple sources. The MyersBizNet survey results are used only for guidance and insight into advertisers’ perceptions; much like reading a handicapper’s picks before the horses leave the paddock.
